However, I was able to get progress on this issue: now xsetwacom works. What was happening is that the first dbus entry for evdev had a catchall rule for tablets which assigned evdev drivers to the tablet before the wacom drivers would have a chance.
So I editted: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf and commented the catchall tablet rules and then added /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-huion.conf With these contents: # Huion tablets Section "InputClass" Identifier "Huion class" MatchProduct "HUION" MatchIsTablet "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "wacom" EndSection Section "InputClass" Identifier "Huion buttons" MatchProduct "HUION" MatchIsKeyboard "on" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "evdev" EndSection Section "InputClass" Identifier "Huion scroll" MatchProduct "HUION" MatchIsPointer "off" MatchIsKeyboard "off" MatchIsTouchpad "off" MatchIsTablet "off" MatchIsTouchscreen "off" MatchDevicePath "/dev/input/event*" Driver "evdev" EndSection And now the tablet is recognized by xsetwacom: [17:31] [4961] [patola@trololo patola]% xsetwacom --list HUION PenTablet Pen stylus id: 10 type: STYLUS HUION PenTablet Pad pad id: 11 type: PAD However, the System Settings Wacom entry still does not recognize it, "No tablet detected". I guess I will have to do it manually in the meanwhile? BTW, this is issue #26 from digimend drivers: https://github.com/DIGImend/digimend-kernel-drivers/issues/26 So there IS a bug to be fixed in xserver-xorg-core: /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf and huion configuration. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xf86-input-wacom in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1562387 Title: digimend / wacom drivers do not recognize chinese clone To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xf86-input-wacom/+bug/1562387/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
